Wears Me Down
Sometimes the feeling
Of being small
Has nothing to do with size
But your own perception.
A smile is not always a smile
Or a reflection of your heart
Sometimes it is only due
To practice.
I'm a happy person
I repeat constantly
Until I believe.
It always wears me down.
Yes I am blessed
That's true.
I'm so thankful
Without a doubt.
But I fight
A battle everyday.
No one sees me cry.
No one will hear my pain.
I'm a happy person
I repeat constantly
Until I believe.
But it wears me down.
Feeling Insignificant
Has nothing to do with
How others see you
But what you see in the mirror.
My smile
Which I have practiced
Remains plastered on my face
And I won't give up.
Won't admit defeat.
But it wears me down.
I bounce back
Like a rubber band
Continually changing
And stretching
But remaining intact.
I'm a happy person
I repeat constantly
Until I believe.
But it continues to wear me down.
